Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies - July 29, 2012

Did I have you at peanut butter and snickers? Mmmmm I've been making these cookies for many years. I got the recipe from a family friend and they are always a hit wherever I take them. My sister in law begs for them at Christmas. You'll have people begging for them too. Guaranteed.

Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies

Ingredients:
1 C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 C. sugar
1 C. peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
3 C. flour
1 (1 lb) bag mini Snickers

Cream together sugars and butter. Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients. Add 2 mixtures together slowly until completely mixed together. Wrap about 1 Tbsp.mixture around a mini-Snickers. Place on cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Don't let them get too brown. This will be trial and error for you. I usually take them out right at 12 minutes. They don't look brown at all. Once you take them out of the oven use the back of a spatula to flatten them a little bit before transferring them to a cooling rack.



Husband Review:

I don't think these are his all time favorite cookies, but they are definitely in the top 5. Everyone likes these cookies. They are a hit everywhere. The only thing I don't like about making these is how time consuming it is to unwrap all the Snickers and then rolling them in the dough. But, it's well worth the time put into it.
